| Reviews |
| - 'This book...provides a unique resource of information and distilled expertise on the multidisciplinary care of patients with chronic respiratory disease and of their families. Unlike texts on palliative care of [respiratory] disease this book describes care for chronic progressive disease - which is frequently needed a long time before palliative care is required. The book is written by
internationally recognised specialists and what comes across is the depth and breadth of practical experience distilled into each chapter.' - BMA Medical Book Competition 2006
|
| Description | | - The first book in the field of respiratory palliation, which is a growing area of healthcare as palliative care services become more established
- Provides up-to-date knowledge of the scientific basis of respiratory palliation
- Provides practical guidance on delivering good respiratory care
- Covers related topics such as psychosocial support, complementary approaches, terminal care and modern methods of domiciliary ventilatory support
| Respiratory symptoms such as breathlessness and cough are common in patients with advancing and incurable disease. For example, cancer, chronic cardiac and pulmonary disease, progressive neuromuscular disorders and degenerative disorders all give rise to varying degrees of respiratory distress which adversely affects the patient's quality of life. In recent years, there has been significant
growth into the palliation of respiratory symptoms leading to practical ways of giving relief in hospices, hospitals and at home.
The book includes non-malignant respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis in AIDS patients, cystic fibrosis and ventilator-dependent patients, and focuses on aetiology and diagnosis and management, emphasising symptoms, quality of life and psychosocial support.
The underlying theme of the book is the application of modern research-based knowledge, in a humane way, for patients with advancing disease. |
Readership: Aimed primarily at specialists in palliative care, oncology and respiratory physicians; doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and pharmacists will also be interested. The book will appeal to those working in 'acute' specialties such as cardiology or pulmonary medicine, whose patients are not usually considered for palliative care, but in whom relief of distressing respiratory problems could
improve the quality of life.
